They ran the ball effectively on their opening drive and Langan had a nice 20-yard pass to Tyler Devera. Bergen Catholic also got some help from two offsides penalties against the Marauders.

The drive ended with Langan running for a five-yard touchdown and Bergen Catholic kept it going from there, pulling off whatever it tried.

“We finished that drive, it was a phenomenal drive,” coach Nunzio Campanile said. “We just kind of were able to stay after it and we were pedal to the medal the whole time.”

That included Anthony Corbin running 54 yards for a touchdown on a fake punt in the third quarter.

Josh McKenzie capped Bergen Catholic’s scoring with a 36-yard touchdown run less than a minute into the fourth.

Clutch play: After Michael Kearney kicked a 20-yard field goal early in the second quarter, Cade McDermott forced a fumble on the ensuing kick return and Isaiah Givens recovered for the Crusaders at St. Peter’s Prep’s 33.
